Jquery based responsive date picker

Dear Experts:

I would like a recommendation for a Jquery based responsive date picker:

We are considering
http://eonasdan.github.io/bootstrap-datetimepicker/

https://uxsolutions.github.io/bootstrap-datepicker/?markup=component&format=&weekStart=&startDate=&endDate=&startView=0&minViewMode=0&maxViewMode=4&todayBtn=false&clearBtn=false&language=en&orientation=auto&multidate=&multidateSeparator=&keyboardNavigation=on&forceParse=on#sandbox

but the issue on both controls are: (Real Ipad and mobile galaxy - as simulator could trick you that works OK)
- They do not close (hide the picker) when day is selected.
- They open UP sometimes in mobile hiding the page contents above the date picker location.

My current requirements are:
- Responsive (must work Real Ipad and mobile galaxy)
- When day is selected the date picker must close.
- When picker is shown, it must open down the picker location.
- Ability to customize colours and icon
- It supports IE11 onwards, Chrome (latest and previous 3 releases) and Safari.
- It supports Iphone 7 and up and Galaxy S5 and up.

We are currently using Bootstrap latest 3.x version and Jquery 1.12.x

Hi,

I do prefer uxsolutions but it does not have the time integrated, so you will need another picker for the time.

I do use eonasdan when I need the time to be in the same plugin.

If you need the datepicker to appear in another plugins (ie table plugin) you may want to check if this is compatible.

Both are working fine with Bootstrap and both have support and are multi-language.

You will need to check the options for each to decide which one will meet the most your needs and make some tests.
for example the way it's closing, opening and position are options so maybe you have not set them correctly.

We have some issues when the default picker is used with an icon to date picker as shown in the picture below: (date picker from UXSolution)

Some of the issues that are icon related:
- Icon does not show picker unless you click the icon two times.
- The date picker and the keyboard are displayed at the same time.
Our typical usage is:
- One date picker.
- Conditional range date picker.
- This html construct is used in a CSHTML view. (Not inside plug ins)

Unfortunately this has been done by a third party provider, thus my preference to find out if somebody else has faced similar issues and already have a solution for it or I may be hitting some limitations and need to see other solutions
